Devotees of Elvis Costello will find this collaboration with hip-hop band [[the Roots]] a more labour-intensive listen, perhaps, than the casual arriviste. These tracks are densely self-referential, borrowing lyrics and themes from Costello's past. Most politically, there is a sequel, of sorts, to his Falklands-era screed, [[Shipbuilding]], called [[Cinco Minutos Con Vos]], which imagines the view from the south Atlantic. What's new, though, is the Roots's mutating groove and how well it chimes with Costello's delivery, alternately gruff, sour or soulful. | Devotees of Elvis Costello will find this collaboration with hip-hop band [[the Roots]] a more labour-intensive listen, perhaps, than the casual arriviste.
